Mustang Auto and Classic Cars

This shop is a Mustang Lover’s dream. Friendly knowledgable staff! Fixed the issue is I had with my 1966 Ford Mustang — I couldn’t start the car because of key problems, and I was given great instructions over the phone on how to start the car and once I got to their shop (which is full of beautiful collection of ‘stangs) I was greeting with fast excellent service. $ 40 later, I have a new key cylinder and 2 new keys, and I am back on the road. Thanks Mustang Auto!!!

I was greeted by a friendly person as soon as I walked in. Their customer service knowledge and expertise was phenomenal. It was a great experience so if you need any help with classic our even new cars use the mustang shop.

Great people, very knowledgeable and friendly, highly recommend this place to any and all mustang enthusiast’s.

I just moved to El Cajon a couple months ago and I saw all the classic Mustangs parked at this shop. I used to own a 1969 Mustang Grande years ago, so I stopped by to see what kind of work they did here. Wow! They probably have 30 Mustangs in all different stages of rebuild. They do everything from auto repair, body work to complete rebuilds! In the 45 minutes I spent looking around the shop, there was probably 10 customers that came in — everyone is on a first name basis. «Dave» the owner is extremely knowledgeable about his craft and the mechanics «Eddie» and «Bill» have clearly been working on cars for decades! So fast forward about 5 weeks, and I’m driving down El Cajon Blvd in my 2000 BMW when it completely over heated and all the water leaked out of my radiator. So I walked up to the Mustang shop and asked if someone could take a look at my car. Dave and Eddie called a tow truck and towed my car to the shop. They looked at my car, found the problem, ordered the part and fixed my car right then and there. They were so friendly and so helpful and to top it off — the tow, parts and labor were hundreds of dollars cheaper than the 3 other shops I called to get quotes from! I definitely give this shop 5 STARS!!!

The customer service at this place is tops! Very happy with my experience great prices as well. very satisfied customer right here!

Everybody there was so nice the Mustangs are beautiful it’s like no other place it’s the only place we will take our Mustang to have repair upgrades improvements or just a little TLC I highly recommend this place

I took my 1970 mustang fastback to MUSTANG AUTO /​DAVE MORRERO back in Jan of 2010 to have it restored… Dave told me that it would take about nine to eleven months to do all of the work that was needed. I thought, well that sounds ok, since there was a long list of things for him to do to the car. I gave Dave a large deposit to get started on the car (KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL PAYMENTS TO DAVE AND HIS SHOP WERE ALL DONE BY CHECK, THAT WAY I WOULD HAVE PROOF OF PAYMENT FOR EVERYTHING) things went fine till about April when Dave asked me for yet more money, he stated that he was running a little short on cash and that he needed to free up some money in order to finish up on a few other cars that were to be finished before he could even start on my car. At this point I no longer had that warm fuzzy feeling about both Dave or the quality of workmanship that I saw on customer cars. But at this point I had already given DAVE /​MUSTANG AUTO about $ 55,000.00 Yes 55 k… The long and the short of this story is this. I wish that I would have checked out both Dave and Mustang auto PRIOR to handing over $ 1… If you go on the net and do your homework, Im sure you will understand what I am talking about … SANDIEGO​SU​PE​RI​OR​COURT​.GOV is a great place to start… There you will find several open court cases including mine (ANOTHER REVIEWER STATED THAT I LOST MY CASE, THAT IS 100% untrue) I will post the results of my case here when time permits. Once I retained a lawyer to get my car back (because they tried to extort more money out of me even though the car was un finished) and the court granted me permission to go to MUSTANG AUTO and remove the car with the police with me… At that point there was infact a restraining order file aginst me because Dave did not want me to go back to his shop to retrieve the rest of my parts that at this point were not on the car… It has now been about four years and another $ 22,000.00 at another shop to where I finally have my car on the road… Also just FYI several of the positive reviews on Unilocal for MUSTANG AUTO just happen to be his co workers… PLEASE DONT BE AS TRUSTING AS I WAS AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK PRIOR TO HANDING OVER YOUR HARD EARNED CASH… GOOD LUCK

The new employees at this shop are awesome… Every shop has bad customers that write bad reviews. dont let that stop you from visiting this shop!!!

Went to ask about getting a quote the place was stinky and communication was bad. I’m going to keep looking around for a solid mechanic.

Life got real complicated once my husband started using this shop to work on his 67 Mustang. Things started off okay and the project was supposed to take a few months… not triple that. When we picked up the car, things were worse than before and Dave, the owner, had us bring it in again to check it out because he «couldn’t believe that». It constantly had to be re-​examined because it kept breaking down. After more and more months we decided to just pick it up, still broken, and get the hell out of there! Dave is constantly rude and makes up every excuse he can think of! Later, he actually called me to ask if my husband had BIPOLAR DISORDER, because he insulted him by telling him he might report them to the BBB and felt he or his shop didn’t deserve any bad remarks. SAVE YOURSELF and RUN… and run FAST. Don’t fall for this con artist or his «professional shop»!

BEWARE OF THIS SHOP! I had some minor work done to my 66 Mustang (new carpet, two front buckets rebuilt and recovered). I was pretty happy with the work so I recommended the shop to a good friend; he had a 68 that he had bought brand new. This car went was used by all of his children during college and everything else. He took the car in for a complete restoration; it was supposed to take several months (I think 8 to 10 months). Well, it ended up to be almost 3 years and over 15,000 dollars later we had to fight with Dave Morrero to get the car back. I stepped in to follow the work being done on the car because I felt responsible for sending my friend to this shop. I was stopping by on the way home at least once a week if not more to check on the progress. After we finally got the car back several things did not work (not to mention he also lost several of the original parts to the car). One of his former employees was recommended to fix what wasn’t finished by Dave M. by one of Dave M.‘s employees that still worked there (because of the terrible work that was done). He was contacted to fix the problems that the car had. Well, he was as responsible as the owner of the shop this guy was paid in good faith to complete the work that the shop failed to do well did not happen the guy just did not show up and would not return our calls «RIPPED OFF AGAIN». Now the car is at another mechanic where all the work is being done correctly. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE — HE WILL RIP YOU OFF !

This place is really bad. They sell parts that are broken and they have some of the worst customer service ever… If you can get a part some other place do your self a favor and don’t go here.
